Subject: [PATCH v3 0/2] media: usb: pwc: Don't use coherent DMA buffers for ISO transfer

From: "Matwey V. Kornilov" <matwey.kornilov@...il.com>

DMA cocherency slows the transfer down on systems without hardware coherent
DMA. In order to demontrate this we introduce performance measurement
facilities in patch 1 and fix the performance issue in patch 2 in order to
obtain 4 times speedup.

Changes since v2:
 * use dma_sync_single_for_cpu() to achive better performance
 * remeasured performance

Changes since v1:
 * trace_pwc_handler_exit() call moved to proper place
 * detailed description added for commit 1
 * additional output added to trace to track separate frames

Matwey V. Kornilov (2):
  media: usb: pwc: Introduce TRACE_EVENTs for pwc_isoc_handler()
  media: usb: pwc: Don't use coherent DMA buffers for ISO transfer
